In this practical, informative and interactive session for SOUL members, Maddocks partner and workplace safety specialist Catherine Dunlop, in discussion with Maddocks Education sector lead Rob Gregory, will break down the proposed Higher Education Code and set out some of the key areas that we see university legal teams are grappling with.

 

Catherine and Rob will consider practical questions arising from the current draft, such as how universities balance safety with fairness and what an appropriate risk-based approach may look like. The session will address the increased responsibilities by universities for recruitment and management of staff, the practicalities of how universities will implement in conjunction with suppliers e.g. accommodation providers and the treatment of information provided by candidates.

 

This webinar will be interactive and practical. We want to answer your questions as well as debate the areas that we find challenging. Let us know what aspects of the Code you would like us to weigh in on when you register. We look forward to you joining us for a thought-provoking session.
